The Cats out of the Bag

My cat died about 6 months ago. So it was a surprise when he came into the room this morning.

"Don't worry," he said, sensing my surprise, "I'm not staying, its just a quick visit." He glanced furtively from side to side, and lowered his voice. "Listen, I just came back to tell you something. Confession you see."

"Yes, I see," I added lamely.

"Well, anyway, you know all those times you didn't do your homework and you blamed the dog for eating it?"

"Yes."

"It was me."

"You? You ate my homework?"

"Yes. Just thought you should know." He turned to leave rather abruptly and headed out the door. At the last moment he turned his head and added "But don't try to tell anyone, they'll never believe 'the cat ate my homework'."
